I have an NSObjectController whose Content item is bounds to an
object's "thing" path. I can then bind the values of controls in my
nib to model key paths through that NSObjectController in the usual
way. Those Value bindings can use "Conditionally Sets Enabled" and
they work great.
I have some controls where I'm not binding the Value though, and
instead just need to bind Enabled alone, so that when there is no
selection in the controller, those controls are disabled.
The obvious way of doing that is to bind 'Enabled' to the
NSObjectController's "selection" controller key, (no model key), and
use the value transformer NSIsNotNil. Anytime the selection is not
nil, the control is enabled… right? It's super simple, but it
doesn't work, and I don't see why not.
The documentation for [NSObjectController selection] says (in the
discussion):
If a value requested from the selection proxy using key-value coding
returns multiple objects, the controller has no selection, or the
proxy is not key-value coding compliant for the requested key, the
appropriate marker (NSMultipleValuesMarker, NSNoSelectionMarker or
NSNotApplicableMarker) is returned. Otherwise, the value of the key
is returned.
So nil is never returned (assuming none of the markers is defined to
be nil).
You might try selectedObjects.count instead.
